Portmerion by whdarcyblueyondercouk

Portmerion

This was taken during an enjoyable morning walking around Portmerion Village - North Wales near Portmadog. A folly of a village designed and constructed by architect Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925 and 1975. It is modelled on an Italian village.
It was the site for the filming of the TV series The Prisoner starring Patrick McGoohan during 1966-1967.
Photographically, it is a fantastic place with great opportunities around every corner - just avoid the crowds.

Be seeing you.
Yes, I remember The Prisoner! It certainly put Portmerion on the map, that and of course the china ware. I have never visited it myself, although I am aware of its appearance. There is a sense of being more like an ornate cemetery rather than the appearance of an Italian village to me.

@marshwader Thanks for the comment Madeline. It is well worth a visit, you could spend a whole day there, there is so much to see.
I have a few more images on my web site https://whdphotography.weebly.com/portmerion.html
